Think men are the only viewers of porn? If you did, think again. A French study conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) has revealed that more women are watching porn then ever before.

1,101 people over 18 years old participated in the poll. From that, 579 women participated and  80% said that they have watched a hardcore porn film.

The study noted that there was an increase of 73% of women viewership of porn from 2006

IFOP’s Francois Kraus of IFOP told the AFP (Agence France-Presse): “In the space of a few years it has become an accepted thing for women to watch pornography, partly thanks to the Internet, and video-on-demand services that made porn more accessible and took away the shame factor.”

62% of the women in the study said the most important factor to why women watched porn was to spice up their sex lives.

Kraus noted: “Women are now consuming porn by themselves…that goes hand in hand with a widening of sexual behavior, and changing attitudes towards sex toys or fellatio for instance.”
